IMPERIAL COLLEGE, LONDON | Graduation Day 2024
We worked with the team at Imperial College to produce the university's first digital graduation programme, offering attendees and their guests background to the day's events, as well as a comprehensive guide to the ceremony.
We built a number of custom functions to support the expected requirements of the programme, such as an intelligent multi-page search feature, making it simple for family and friends to search for graduating students.
